social curriculum = nurtured heart

Although Dave and I began investigating NH about a month
ago, it’s only been since the new year began that we’ve made a methodical
attempt to follow the program 100%. We’ve signed up for a parent training that
is meant to start mid-month. In the meantime, I read his first book
(Transforming the Difficult Child), watched the dvd presentation and have been
reading his new book (All Children Flourishing) and am watching for every
moment I feel pulled to give any energy
to negative behavior (hoping to STOP myself) and for every moment I can
recognize and celebrate Fluffy’s greatness with specificity (hoping to lay it
on!).

This is the key.

Every other discipline approach has it backwards—not doing
anything when desirable behavior is exhibited and really laying it on when
undesirable behavior is exhibited. In other words, we’re giving our kids a big
payoff at the exact wrong times.

Glasser says those methods work with the typical kid but not
the intense kid. He says, essentially, the following are methods that not only
don’t work for the intense (or challenging or difficult) kids, they actually
make things worse:

Any typical discipline approach that most people use with
most kids

Natural consequences

Logical consequeneces

1,2,3 Magic

These methods all give our kids a big energetic response for
negative behavior. Unfortunately, lots of times our difficult kids aren’t
getting much of any from us when they are
behaving (we’re all, Oh good! He’s happily playing on his own, I’ll straighten
up or make those calls or wash those dishes!) so we’re giving the good behavior
not much of any energetic response and the bad behavior anywhere from slightly
energized to highly energized responses depending on our mood or how many times
that day our child has done/said things that push our buttons.

Now, we might say well-meaning praises like Good job! Or I
really like the way you’re acting! or Thanks for being a help! We might stay nice and calm to explain why the particular
behavior wasn’t okay, That hurt so and so’s feelings,It makes me feel sad when
you do such and such, It isn’t okay to do such and such and if you do that
again, we’re going to have to leave. But even this is usually done with far more energy and far more detail and usually dispensed at a much closer physical range than what we do/say when
our child behaves. We also tend to punctuate these session with mini-lectures or threats to take a toy away or leave the premises or send a child to his room for a break, etc. etc.,

Kids get this. They have super duper antennas when it
comes to energy.

Again, all this works fine with most kids. But if you’re
like me and you have a kid that doesn’t respond to this and you’ve tried (and
tried and tried) all kinds of approaches and even the
he’s-not-developmentally-ready or his sensory system is overloaded
or I just need to say it exactly right and stay ultra detached and calm, well,
you might just find NH is just the ticket.

The NH approach goes in stages. We’re in what I’d call the first
stage that’s all about creating a JUICY TIME IN which is what every moment is
going to be that isn’t a Time Out. Now, Glasser recommends a very specific Time Out for when a rule is broken but it won’t work unless you’ve already established
Time In. We haven't gotten to the Time Outs yet but they are, essentially, a clean, short, withdrawal of energy and won’t
work until Time In gets integrated into the household and parents and child and
the child’s own self-image begins to shift.

Time In is all about being seen and valued, about being
given lots of positive feedback and energy for all the times the child is
behaving in ways that we celebrate.

How do you do that? By being specific.

Glasser gives this wonderful example of a teacher who’s in
the room with a group of students who all had been working away at a table
together quietly for about 15 minutes. She says to them, You all are doing a
great job! Keep up the good work. Now, what are the kids to think? Is it
possible they each might stop and interpret this very individually and
specifically? Might one say, Oh, yes! I’m being respectful of others, sitting
quietly and not pulling at any else’s paper. Another, Yes! I’m respecting the
materials and making sure to put the caps back on the pens. Another still, I’m
showing determination and focus even though this is hard because I’m not giving
up.

Not likely. Not unless we tell them.

It’s up to us to tell our kids what they’re doing that we
appreciate, admire, value and recognize and what they’re not doing that we
appreciate, admire, value and recognize. And what we like!Especially when they’re having a hard time.

We need to tell our kids the truth so they can hear it so it can sink in. And the truth is, even with very challenging kids (toddlers, elementary age, teens), there are countless example every day of their success right in that moment.
Not what they are on their way towards, but what they are displaying right now. There are countless moments whem they are showing self-control, determination, focus, wisdom, consideration, creativity, humor, problem solving, curiosity, peserverance, respect, innovation, etc.. Even the ability to feel strong feelings in the first
place is a success! Let's not forget to acknowledge them for that, for letting themselves feel the anger or frustration or excitement or disappointment!

The NH approach says to start by giving what's called Active
Recognition. When you see your child doing anything (except breaking a rule),
stop and tell them what you see and name a quality of something that matters to
you that you see them exhibiting. For example, I notice your following the
directions in that lego sheet to build your structure. You are using great
focus and determination and I admire that! Or, I can see what you're doing is taking a lot of effort and even though you're getting frustrated, you are choosing not to yell or use bad language. That shows me your perserverance and self control and I really value those qualities!

Now, it might feel a little unusual at fist. But if you think it's odd to make such long statements with such detail, think of what you say when you're not happy with the behavior. Think of the amount of energy and time and words you spend on those 'teaching moments'.

Yesterday, Fluffy had a big meltdown before dinner. Dave and
I aren’t to the point in the program where you do the Time Out; we’re still
heavily building juicy Time Ins but we knew enough to NOT give energy to the
negativity. But that didn’t mean that we did nothing until he was over it. We kept
looking for moments to jump in and accuse him of success.

At one point, Fluffy paused in his screaming and yelling most likely, just to catch his breath. But I jumped in, Wow, Fluffy! I so appreciate
that you stopped yelling in this moment! Thank you. I know that’s very
difficult to do when you're upset. That shows a lot of inner strength! Later in the meltdown when there
was another pause I said, I notice that you are having really big feelings and
I really admire that you are feeling them without hurting yourself or us.
(Glasser says, mention what’s NOT happening as much as what IS and use detail!). You’re
not biting yourself or hitting me or dad with your hands or any objects. You’re not pushing over the chairs. You are
being very powerful in choosing to respect the house, your body and our bodies and using fantastic self
control.

We kept it up, looking for those moments to reflect his success. He calmed down. And came to the table on his own. There was
much celebration, specific celebration, of his success. And no mention of the
meltdown AT ALL since going over something difficult later, when the child is
calm, DOESN’T WORK with these kids.

So here's the part that is beginning to reveal the transformation that has begun:

Last night at bedtime, Fluffy's facial gazing was through the roof--sustained, relaxed, present. At
one point, I wondered if he was thinking of something like counting in his
head, such was the extent of his connection to my face and I asked, Are you
counting?

And he said, No, I’m just hanging out. And then he gazed at my face some
more and said, You look really beautiful, mom.

And I said, Wow! Thank you, that is so considerate and loving of you to say. So
do you! I love looking at your eyes.

And he said, I love looking at yours. They’re very beautiful!

And I said, The eyes really are like windows into the
soul and I can see how wise and wonderful your soul is.

And he said, Aw, Mom. I'm so glad! and pulled me to him
for a long, long embrace.

As you can see this website is full of [url=http://jessicaalbanudabt.tumblr.com]jessica alba nuda[/url] pictures and not just that... If you are here, that means you are one of those lucky people that get what they want... This is very simple right here and no explanation is required. You came here to stare at [url=http://emmawatsonnudepicsyr.tumblr.com]emma watson nude pics[/url], right? Don't worry, you'll get your chance.

She is 29 years old and I think her attitude to that age is pretty optimistic... For instance, she doesn't think of that number as something really close to 30... Conversely, 29 is only a bit more than 25 so she probably thinks like that. But anyway, she looks much younger and the truth is when you see [url=http://mirandacosgrovebikinile.tumblr.com]miranda cosgrove bikini[/url] you start to think she is about 25 or something like that... Her soft skin and shapely legs make her look like a young female athlete. Nobody can be compared with that sexy woman.

Despite the fact that she is blond I wouldn't call her stupid... However, who am I trying to deceive... She is just not very good in thinking let's say that... No offence Jess.

I hope you are aware of that after watching [url=http://sonamkapoorhothv.tumblr.com]sonam kapoor hot[/url] there is a part of our review where we should describe the way she thinks and thus we need to review some of her personal quotes... Why is this so important? Because knowing what is going on in her head will give us many thoughts on what kind of person she really is. It is not that important how she looks... In fact, this applies not only to [url=http://lilycolenakedly.tumblr.com]lily cole naked[/url] but to all of us... So please meet her first quote. "At school my boobs were bigger than all my friends' and I was hesitate to show them. But now, I feel they make my clothes look better. They're like an accessory." Well, for us, watching [url=http://emilydeschanelnakedzz.tumblr.com]emily deschanel naked[/url] means first of all checking out her boobs and then other goodies.

I wonder how much her school mates were jealous to her... of course I mean other girls because boys don't have to be jealous about that... All they care is who she dates and when their turn is going to be. I don't think she was popular in her school because most famous celebrities like Angelina Jolie or Lindsay Lohan were pretty shy there and there were some other girls who run the school. But if we compare them right now, I am sure it won't be a big surprise if those "school popular girls" are working as whores or something like that at this present moment... Remember, it is not about being popular in your high school as for your life. School is first of all a place for study and stuff like that... Let someone else be on that position and during that try to make your own path for your life... The study will end anyway, but life goes on and nobody will even remember that dude's or chick's name after graduating...

Speaking about [url=http://meganfoxbikinijt.tumblr.com]megan fox bikini[/url] I totally forgot to say that they are natural and she doesn't have to make one of those stupid plastic surgeries... it is very cool.

And now I want to check some other quote of her... "My bra and underwear always have to match. I like that. I've collected a whole lot of sets. When a girl has on color underpants, she feels sexy." This is something every other man would love to hear... My dirties fantasy was watching [url=http://jessicaalbasexvideovx.tumblr.com]jessica alba sex video[/url] standing right in front of me, but now all I want to see her is some pink bikinis... Sometimes it is better to watch some celebrities in their hot bikinis than without them... This is because if we are talking about for example [url=http://daisylowenudemv.tumblr.com]daisy lowe nude[/url] then her forms and curvy parts can be better appreciated in some hot bikini... I said pink because I think she fits that color... But red is also a good option.

Unfortunately, as everything in this world this review has to end anyway... Besides I can't see endless post be interesting... I will see you tomorrow with some nice pictures of [url=http://pamelaandersonhotlh.tumblr.com]pamela anderson hot[/url] so don't miss them.

Don't be confused about whether you should watch [url=http://selenagomezpornsz.tumblr.com]selena gomez porn[/url] or not. Why? Because if you do, it will be pretty hard for you to decide and you don't want to be in that kind of situation. Be confident and you'll be alright.

Here I have one quotation by [url=http://annehathawaytitsny.tumblr.com]anne hathaway tits[/url] that she said recently. "I've had secret lovers...I can keep some things quiet." We have no doubts that some lucky people were tapping her ass from time to time. Too bad we didn't have such things as her sex tapes or at least some rumors about having sex with them.

Watching all those fabulous pictures of [url=http://parishiltonsexvideoyu.tumblr.com]paris hilton sex video[/url] has made me to cum in about a few minutes. I hope you know that before to make this review I was masturbating on all of those photos. This kind of job I have and don't judge me for that. We all have different kind of jobs. Anywho, I was trying to say that after cumming you don't want to see anything that's sexy. And that's why I thought you want to see one trivia about Jess. I was curious how come she can have that gorgeous and athletic body but it turns out that she is a former high school cheerleader. I know she is 29 and that was really long time ago, but that's the kind of fact I thought you should know. This was probably the main cause why Jess has so amazing forms, although she looks pretty curvy. I guess our baby likes to eat.

Oh my, don't be that surprised when you see all these [url=http://christinaaguileranudeaj.tumblr.com]christina aguilera nude[/url] because they are quite easily to get. I have some of them right here.

I hope you love her as much as I am, but even if that's not how it is, I think this quote won't hurt at all. "Curves are better. I don't get the whole rail thing." That's right, it is better to curvy and sexy than skinny. She is a bit fat but that only gives her extra sexuality. Plus, can you imagine that kind of big boobs on skinny body? I don't think you can.

The other day I have read one comment from my constant reader. He said to me that just giving celebrity nude photos is not enough, although he thanked me for that opportunity to see the best female known women naked. I am very frustrated from that comment but he was right... Therefore I thought it would be nice to place here something else besides those marvelous photos of [url=http://jessicaalbasexscenetq.tumblr.com]jessica alba sex scene[/url]. Well, for those of you that think this fellow was right I have to say that she has recently discovered that she is allergic to cheese. That should make you have one thought. Has she ever eaten cheese before? Or maybe she has, but every time after that she felt dizzy and vomit. But I guess the lack of brains in [url=http://christinaaguileranudeaj.tumblr.com]christina aguilera nude[/url]'s head has played its role, doesn't it?

Anyway, it is time to say goodbye so see ya'll later pals.

I have quite enough photos of [url=http://kendrawilkinsondesnudabg.tumblr.com]kendra wilkinson desnuda[/url] right here, so don't miss them. You don't want to be one of those looser that can't find a damn pic of her, don't you?

To be honest, I have to admit that despite all those rumors and facts that Jess is stupid blond, I still believe she is not helpless. Here is a quote from her "My bra and underwear always have to match. I love this." Depsite she claims that, I wouldn't believe her on this. She can tell whatever she wants but where are those proves? How come we can check she wears the same color pants and bra?

It is not a secret that people love to know some rumors and trivia about their favorite celebrities. But have you asked yourself why? Anyway, the point is to know something else besides just watching those pics of [url=http://salmahayektitswu.tumblr.com]salma hayek tits[/url]. That is why I have collected some very solid information and there is a fact regarding her natural hairs color. To be more precise, [url=http://kerrywashingtonnudekk.tumblr.com]kerry washington nude[/url] has stated her natural hair color is brown. When I knew that, I was going to puke because I imagined her with that kind of color and she was totally not sexy at all. I am telling you, if you don't believe me then try that by yourself. She looks kind of ugly. That's why I think being a blond (although as we just knew this is not her natural) has made her so popular and desirable. But unfortunately, blonds are stupid which is exactly what she is.

Do you remember my reviews? Of course you do. My writing style is very basic and simple. This is exactly what people need as nobody wants some complex words to read especially if you come to see at [url=http://yanaguptahotso.tumblr.com]yana gupta hot[/url] that you can find on this website.

I am very happy to announce this pretty funny quote about [url=http://katiepricenakedor.tumblr.com]katie price naked[/url]. "I love to hug - fans, friends and family alike" I wish I could hug [url=http://rachelhunternudeoy.tumblr.com]rachel hunter nude[/url] because this is my biggest dream. But seriously, I like the fact that she likes hugging, however her bodyguards won't let her do that pretty often. People who don't just shake your hand when they're happy to see you, that's the kind of people are very natural, won't lie to you and they are sincere in their desire to hug you...

Most people from country do that and Jess is one of them, so remember that.

One interesting thing I have just recognized about that Jess has a Mercedes Benz SL500. That is a one nice car out there and she can be proud of herself while driving it. I mean I would. This is not a girls' car. In fact, I think that baby should only a man ride. But anyway, I am very happy she has that vehicle in her garage. I hope she will get sometimes a new one. It is just I want to write her a letter to refuse from SL500 and give it to me, but I don't think she can agree somehow.

Today you will see [url=http://alysonhannigannudema.tumblr.com]alyson hannigan nude[/url] and something else that will entertain you a lot. Don't thank me as this is what I get pay for. Plus, knowing that you made a few people a bit happier is kind of great and worth more than just money.

Would you like to read this quote from her? Oh, it is too late, here it goes. "I had doors slammed in my face as a 14-year-old because my boobs were too big."- said [url=http://willsmithnakedqj.tumblr.com]will smith naked[/url] while she was auditioning for curvaceous Christian pop star. This wasn't surprising much as I can imagine what kind of boobs she had while she was only 14. Just look at [url=http://carrieannemossnudelg.tumblr.com]carrie anne moss nude[/url] now and you will be amazed for sure. This girl was eating a lot of beans I guess or the fact that she lived not in the city where air is dirty has played its own role and brought its benefits. I believe in those things and there are probably many that kind of girls who have bit tits and live in some village out there and they should understand me saying that.

Of course, many people are jealous to her because of that big breast, but they should know that it was very hard for her to drag those babies when she was younger. In fact I can bet that she still has some problems with her back. It just bends under the weight of her babies and there is nothing to do.

Here, I have some shame, the more grown up, the more ethereal ideal, the more new era cap lack of confidence, more action has been slow ... I did not find that anchor, the anchor that gave me motivation. Life is new era cap short, even if it sixty years, in addition to sleep, get sick, look in the mirror, washing,new era cap dressing, sneezing, etc., how much?http://www.newerahatfactory.com/

Stick to their ideals, the ideal place, hell is heaven. And then determine wholesale new era cap their own goals, realistic goals. Also need confidence, wholesale new era cap and sometimes feel that they can do and can not do, in fact, wholesale new era cap only an idea.http://www.newerahatfactory.com/
